Use OpenFeint and GameCenter at the same time

Hi,

is it possible to use Gamecenter and OpenFeint in one App? I’ve heard of Fieldrunners and that one can choose to use GameCenter OR OpenFeint.
We want to use both at the same time but can’t get it work. Is it possible at all? Has someone already integrated both in one App?

Well both depends on definition. as they are distinct and can’t communicate and share data it will require a bit more work and double login will piss users

that being said, OF said multiple times that they want to work in a way where you can use both

We don’t want them to communicate.

Our problem is, that gamecenter does not work at the moment. A message says “this game is not recognized by gamecenter”. Any idea what that means?

means that you didn’t create a new development provision for this game specifically.

this is required to enable any special service (game center, iad, notification, …)
such services will not work with wildcard profiles

Strange, for me it works with my “Team Provisioning Profile” (or whatever it’s called), which is a wildcard profile too, right?

right, but its a special one unlike normal wildcards.
that being said, did you test it against the current SDK where gamecenter really happened not the prerelease from 4.0 sdk etc?

i’m unsure to what degree it works on the team provision if at all. I know that the other special services don’t work for example (iad etc), they require full unique identifiers.

I personally decided that I won’t support GC until the point where pre 3GS devices make less than 20% of the market, I don’t want a fragmentation of my userbase due to iphone 3G and a fair amount of itouch 2nd gen not being nor going to iOS 4.x and when going, in case of 3G, still not getting GC

fragmention with that large amounts of users being split out to me just does not look desireable and its a joke that apple decided to fuck out 3G although OF even runs on iphone 2G and offers several times more than GC, including android cross support

Yeah I’m on SDK 4.1 I think. But there has to be an app id in itunes connect with the same bundle identifier I believe.

And as for not supporting Game Center: I think you have to if you want Apple to feature your games in the near future. They’ll likely be giving games that support the new Apple-stuff (Retina, Game Center, Gyroscope, etc) a better chance.

Thats it. Thanks!

ok so the backend just hooks it up against it, independent if the provision is right during dev.

nice to know :slight_smile:

for deploy that problem doesn’t exist anyway as there is no wildcard deployment
